CAC Graduate Student Caucus
At the 2009 CAC annual meeting in Vancouver, 31 graduate students met for lunch and voted unanimously to form the Graduate Student Caucus of the CAC. We are currently trying to establish communication among graduate students and to draft a constitution in time for the 2010 meeting in Quebec City. While we seek input on what students would like the Caucus to be, we currently envision its mission as including: supporting graduate students in Classics and Ancient History across Canada, bridging the gap between graduate studies and professional involvement, and showcasing graduate studies in Canada. We have now set up a Google group and invite all graduate students to join by contacting Anna Irish or Donald Sells at the addresses below. We would also appreciate it if anyone who has access to graduate students would pass this information on to them.

Groupe des étudiants de cycle supérieur du SCEC
Au congrès annuel du SCEC en 2009, 31 étudiants de cycle supérieur se sont réunis et ont voté à l’unanimité pour établir la groupe des étudiants de cycle supérieur du SCEC. Nous essayons couramment d’établir la communication avec les étudiants de cycle supérieur, et de composer une constitution préliminaire avant le congrès de 2010 à Québec. Bien que nous cherchons à savoir ce que les étudients voudriont voire de la groupe, nour imaginons qu’elle aura les buts suivants: soutenir les étudiants de cycle supérieur au Canada, aider à rapprocher les études et les activités professionnelles, et mettre en valeur les études de cycle supérieur au Canada. Nous avons établi une groupe Google, et invitons tous les étudiants de cycle supérieur à la joindre, en écrivant à Anna Irish ou Donald Sells, aux addresses ci-dessous. Nous demandons aussi à ceux qui travaillent avec des étudiants de cycle supérieur à partager avec eux cette information.

Fieldwork Opportunity at Pylos (University of Missouri-St. Louis)
The Iklaina Excavation is seeking students and volunteers for the 2010 field season (two sessions: May 28-June 17 and June 17-July 7). Iklaina is a Mycenaean town in the region of Pylos, identified in the Linear B tablets as a-pu2, one of the district capitals of the Hither Province (AJA 2006, pp. 205-228). The site includes two large building complexes (one of the megaron type), several houses, a Cyclopean terrace, and thousands of finds, including frescoes. The project includes excavation, travel to the major sites and museums in the Peloponnese, and evening classes and seminars on Greek culture, history, and archaeology. Students can receive 6 credits through the department of Anthropology at the University of Missouri-St. Louis; volunteers on an auditing basis are also welcome to apply. Applications will be accepted until the project is filled. All relevant information, including application forms and registration instructions, can be found at the project website, www.iklaina.org.
